Insulin-like growth-factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) constitute a family of structurally related proteins that specifically bind insulin-like growth factors and modulate their functions. In this study, the chromosomal localization was determined for the gene encoding IGFBP4, i.e. inhibitory-IGFBP. A

The secretion of insulin-like growth-factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) and expression of the genes encoding IGFBP-I, IGFBP-2 and IGFBP-3 have been studied in a panel of cell lines derived from breast carcinomas, Wilms' tumour, neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, colon carcinoma, liver adenocarcinoma, Burk
Previously we have shown that transforming growth factor b (TGF b) 1, basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) BB inhibit the synthesis of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) II, but their effects on IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-6 in osteoblast cultures are not kno
Cultured hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), the cell type primarily involved in the progression of liver fibrosis, secrete insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF binding protein (IGFBP) activity. IGF-I exerts a mitogenic effect on HSCs, thus potentially contributing to the fibrogenic process in an
